I love going to the outdoor markets, and seeing everything so fresh and local is great. I especially loved seeing how the fish and seaweed are dried right there out in the open sea air. But this market was a little depressing too. There were just so many fish in total that worries of overfishing the waters kept rising up. Also, you can see all the live fish there (and crabs and shellfish and all sorts of other sea creatures) in tiny little aquariums with no space to move around, or sometimes just out lying on beds of ice still wriggling around. That last picture though is probably the most troubling... it might be hard to see in the picture, but they're carving and selling whale (and sometimes dolphin as well) in many of the seafood markets along the coast. So sad to see.
